It is a true measure of my lack of personal time that I haven't written my own message for 2 months. I have rededicated myself to carving out some time to keep mind and body healthy...such as actually going to the gym at which I am a member every MWF at 4:30 while Adam takes charge of the household (So far I have made it all this week). I am also taking Sam to preschool every MW morning, and (usually) using the time to do something enjoyable. I've spent some time with another mom at the preschool who I like...and whose daughter is (nearly) as sweet and precocious as Sam! I'm thinking of an arranged marriage. This week I am preparing mentally and organizationally for a trip back to Nebraska with the family. A long weekend before Thanksgiving to introduce Sam to a bevy of my cousins' kids (don't know what that makes them to me) Fortunately Adam is taking all week off to shoulder some of the heavy work.
I'm really enjoying the beautiful sunny Autumn we are having. This is my favorite season because the world is glowing with light, yet it isn't uncomfortably warm. You can feel cozy in your sweater, but you don't need a down coat to brace against the elements. And everything is crisp. That word just seems to sum up everything about the Fall.
